The rebellion incident that occurred in Shenyang on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the 15th year of the Shenwu period of the Ming Dynasty shocked the entire Northeast officialdom. This was the first palace coup after Zhu Hongsan became the emperor, and the main body of the coup was the new army general that Zhu Hongsan trusted the most, so Zhu Hongsan did not believe in the new army in the entire Northeast.

In the next half month, Zhu Hongsan hid in the Imperial Guards' camp. Although he did not show up, the Jinyiwei's cavalry were everywhere, from the governor's yamen far away in Heilongjiang to the garrison guarding Shanhaiguan. All Zhao Guodong's confidants and direct descendants were arrested and were locked up in Shenyang prison for interrogation.

As the case was gradually tried, Zhu Hongsan discovered that behind Zhao Guodong was his precious son Zhu Jiang. However, Zhu Hongsan was not surprised by this conclusion. Zhao Guodong was already the most important minister, so why should he arrest the emperor for rebellion? Does he want to be the emperor himself? The power of the Ming Dynasty has developed to the extreme. Not to mention that Zhao Guodong cannot cover up the sky in the army, even if he controls the army, this emperor is not able to become the emperor just by wanting to be.

Of course, if something happened to Zhu Hongsan, only his sons were qualified to take over. The first one was the crown prince Zhu Hai, but Zhu Hai and Zhao Guodong have always been far and near, so the biggest suspect is Zhu Jiang, the King of Qin who was born in the second division.

Seeing Zhang Bao's confidant's confession, Zhu Hongsan couldn't calm down for a long time, but he didn't expect that the Xuanwu Gate Incident could happen to him again. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan suddenly remembered that there was still Beijing, Zhu Jiang was just the second heir to the throne, and there was also a crown prince Zhu Hai. Zhu Jiang colluded with Zhao Guodong to rebel in Shenyang, and he must have actions in Beijing. Based on Zhu Hongsan's understanding of his son, Zhu Jiang was not as good as Li Shimin in governing the country, but his ruthlessness was better than Li Shimin. As long as Zhu Jiang succeeded, Zhu Hai would definitely lose his life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan was very anxious and asked Li Chengen beside him: "Old Li, what news is there in the capital?"

Li Chengen is carefully serving Zhu Hongsan these days. After all, the East Factory did not receive any news during this palace coup. Li Chengen was also afraid that the emperor would settle the score in the future and he would die.

When Li Chengen heard the emperor ask about Beijing, he quickly bowed and replied: "Go back to the emperor, the messenger sent back to the capital has set off. At the same time, the old slave also sent people to check if there was a problem there. It is estimated that news will be heard in the next few days!"

Zhu Hongsan thought about it and waited here in Shenyang, but it was not a solution. Beijing was his own capital. If he really made a mess of his sons, he would be a real fool in history.

"No, you can't wait anymore. Lao Li, go and pass the order. Leave the matter in Shenyang to Guo Huan, telling him not to let Zhao Guodong's followers go, and of course, don't wrongly accuse a good man. Today I will go back to the capital!"

The emperor's order was an imperial edict. The imperial guards were ready immediately after learning about the emperor's order. On the 18th day of the first lunar month, three days after the coup, they set out from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan.

Before leaving Shenyang, in order to mix sand for the Northeast officialdom, Zhu Hongsan directly pulled Chen Mingxia the military aircraft of the Military Affairs Office as the governor of Liaoning. This is the second largest figure in the entire Northeast, second only to the governor of the Northeast. Although there are three governors in the three northeast provinces, the essence of the Northeast is now in Liaoning. There are more than one million Han people in the entire northeast, most of which are in Liaoning, so this Liaoning governor has a high position and a high position.

Chen Mingxia was overjoyed when she heard the emperor's arrangement. Although she was in the Military Affairs Office, she had basically finished the journey. Only by making real achievements in the local area can she further enter the cabinet.

Zhu Hongsan's route to enter the pass was similar to that of Dorgon's route to enter the pass. He went south from Chenyang through Guangning, which was later Jinzhou, and entered Shanhaiguan through a series of forts along the Bohai Bay. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the front line against the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, and hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed all year round. However, now that the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, the entire northeast is Zhu Hongsan's territory, and even the Mongols have become Zhu Hongsan's vassals, so there were no Ming troops stationed in this former Ningjin defense line except Jinzhou and Ningyuan.

However, as the main road to enter the pass, there were still a large number of Ming troops stationed here. There was originally a division guard here. However, during this time, the Chenyang Palace Coup, Zhu Hongsan generals Zhao Guodong's confidants in the northeastern region arrested the pass. The chief officer here in Shanhaiguan was naturally arrested because he was from the second division. The current Shanhaiguan guard has a deputy position instead.

Because Zhu Hongsan was worried about the situation in Beijing, he did not stop at Shanhaiguan and passed by the city directly, and even the local generals garrisoned were not seen.

After entering the pass, the first important town was Yongping Prefecture, which is Lulong, an important town in Hebei. This is the last line of defense east of Beijing, and it is also the base of the two new troops who followed Zhu Hongsan out of the pass. Their mission was also over here. Zhu Hongsan walked from Chenyang for ten consecutive days, and only felt relieved when he arrived at Yongping Prefecture.

Zhu Hongsan finally received news from Beijing in Yongping Prefecture, or the official news, it was the comment from the prince to Zhu Hongsan. Here, Zhu Hai explained in detail what happened in Beijing during the more than a year after Zhu Hongsan came out of seclusion. The most important thing was to explain in detail what happened in Beijing half a month ago, that is, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

During the year Zhu Hongsan left, everything in Beijing began to be as usual, and the ministries were governing the country in an orderly manner under the leadership of the cabinet. Crown Prince Zhu Hai had no great power at first, so he was at ease to use it as a rubber stamp.

However, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, two days before the Shangyuan Festival, the prince received a secret report from Ding Changsheng, the general of the infantry commander of the yamen. King Zhu Jiang of Qin wanted to launch a mutiny on the night of the Shangyuan Festival on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month and imprisoned all the cabinet masters. Therefore, the prince decided to launch a step forward on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, arresting the culprit Zhu Jiang, and searching for Zhu Jiang's gangsters.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. When the prince was preparing, the news was leaked. Zhu Jiang learned that the prince was going to deal with him and launched a mutiny first.

Zhu Jiang gathered the infantry commander's yamen admiral Ma Rufeng, deputy general Jiang Pengju and others, as well as Jin Daoming, the prince of Nanchang County Prince Jin Shenghuan, to organize more than 3,000 soldiers to attack the palace on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month.

After failing to capture Zhu Jiang, the prince immediately organized the palace guards to resist Zhu Jiang's attack. At the same time, he received the help of Zhu Hongyi, the prince of Wuchang in Beijing and Li Chengdong, the prince of Jianning. After a night of hard work, he finally defeated Zhu Jiang and his gang on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The culprit Zhu Jiang was captured. He committed suicide from the rebellion of Ma Rufeng and Jiang Pengju. Zhu Jiang's adviser Ma Shaoguang was arrested at home.

The prince's memorial was filled with five or six thousand words, and he explained the dangerous situation at that time in detail. At the same time, he put all the shit on Zhu Jiang's head, saying that he was a military genius who was in an instant command and was as motionless as a mountain. Finally, the prince wrote: "My son was frightened and uneasy. As a minister, Zhu Jiang turned on his rebellion openly. This was simply an unfaithful and unfilial person. Now the minister has taken Zhu Jiang into custody and waited for his father to come back to make a decision!"

The prince described Zhu Jiang as an unfaithful and unfilial son, but he himself became a good son who shared his father's worries. However, Zhu Hongsan was not a fool, and Zhu Hongsan saw something inappropriate in this comment.

The first point is the problem of the prince's military strength. There are three princes in Beijing, namely Zhu Hongsan's eldest brother, Zhu Hongyi, Wuchang County Prince, Li Chengdong, Jianning County Prince, and Jin Shenghuan, Nanchang County Prince. These three princes are different from other princes. Because these three princes were all generals who led the troops back then, they had hundreds of personal soldiers under their command. These personal soldiers fought for many years and had very strong combat power.

Jin Shenghuan's son Jin Daoming is Ma Rufeng's brother-in-law. It is reasonable for him to join the Zhujiang counter-revolutionary group, but what about Li Chengdong? You must know that Li Chengdong was the culprit in killing Ma Xiaofang back then, so why did he stand on the side of the prince this time?

The other thing that made Zhu Hongsan most uneasy was Zhu Hongyi. Although Zhu Hongsan's elder brother was not responsible for specific matters in recent years due to physical reasons, the new army was founded by Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi. Most of the middle-level generals in the army were trained by Zhu Hongyi. In the past, Zhu Hongyi knew that his identity was special, so he deliberately avoided it after the founding of the country. Unexpectedly, he also took action to help the prince this time, so Zhu Hongsan felt that this Beijing incident was definitely not as simple as the prince said.

Another thing is that why there is no news on the Jinyiwei for such a big thing? If Shenyang is a border, the Jinyiwei may have been negligent, but Beijing is the nest of the Jinyiwei. If such a big thing happened, there was no news on the Jinyiwei. Could it be that Qian Lide also turned to Zhu Jiang?

Zhu Hongsan thought for a long time and felt that it was impossible. Qian Lide was in the same situation as other princes after holding Zhu Huai's thighs. In addition, Tong Yangjia was cunning and cunning, it was impossible for Qian Lide to step on two boats.

In addition to these, there is also Ma Mingyuan. You should know that Ma Mingyuan is also in Beijing, but there is no news about Ma Mingyuan in the crown prince’s memorial. Is Ma Mingyuan really far away from the government?

The prince’s comments are full of doubts, but one thing is certain, that is, there is no big mess in Beijing. Although Zhu Jiang is in trouble, there is nothing wrong with the cabinet and the palace. Thinking of Zhu Hongsan, it’s good that there is no big deal.

However, Zhu Hongsan didn't want to finish it like this. He must check it carefully. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan said to Li Chengen: "Old Li, draft an order! Today is the 26th day of the first lunar month. I will arrive in Tongzhou on the fifth day of the second lunar month and ask the prince, the cabinet, Zhu Jiang and Zhu Huai to go to Tongzhou to welcome the emperor!"

Li Chengen heard the emperor say this and quickly bowed down to prepare, but before Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and continued, "There is also Lao Li, you go back to the capital to announce the imperial edict. You will go back to the capital to announce the imperial edict this time, but you must understand the matter of the capital this time. The most important thing is that I need to know why there is no news from the Jinyiwei, do you know?"

Li Chengen heard the emperor say this and knelt down and promised: "Please rest assured, I will definitely be able to do a good job for the emperor, and I will definitely make up for the merits!"
